My husband's neurologist told us that when he could no longer draw the clock with designated time (10 past 11, I think) it was time to stop driving. My husband gave it up easily. He was relieved.
I was determined for him to keep driving as long as he could, after the Alzheimer's Diagnosis. In retrospect, I think that was foolish. I had to watch him like a hawk. If he had had an accident, I doubt our insurance would have covered it.
Now he can't remember why he stopped driving and I tell him he failed the test. He accepts it and loves to be the passenger. He's a front seat driver now, always telling me what to do.

@tsc interesting about not being to draw the clock. My husband has scored 13 out of 30 on the MOCHA test and the neurologist he likes said he can continue to drive. He only drives around our small town and I am never the passenger when we are in the car together. He was the driver on long trips for over 42 years of our relationship, but seems to accept his new seat in the car okay. He is a great front seat driver and tends to hold onto the door handle often I am hoping the doctor at Mayo suggests his driving days are over.
